If the Papp engine was not producing over unity power, then with the wall power removed the Papp engine should have stopped. This is what RF thought. But unexpectedly, the engine increased its power output until it blew apart. This is not the behavior of a scam that RF was assuming. This is the behavior of a gainful LENR system.
